Hangovers
The chemical reaction of alcohol in your system forms a toxic byproduct called acetaldehydehttp://www.biochem.arizona.edu/classes/bioc462/462bh2008/462bhonorsprojects/462bhonors2006/lowej/Acetaldehyde/ingestalcohol2.htm which causes hangovers, the result is dehydration and depletion of vitamins, especially vitamin C, and other minerals. Almost every experienced, or unexperienced, drinker has his own theories on the perfect hangover cure, however most are material for urban legends. Several effective hangover cures do exist though. -

Rehydration
Since every drink of alcohol takes more liquid out of the body than it puts inhttp://www.freedrinkingwater.com/water_health/health2/soft-drinks-alcohol-stealing-water.htm it is important to rehydrate after drinking. Dehydration results in headaches and other malfunctions in the body, alcohol also depletes sugar, salts and minerals. Water and sports drinks are an effective way to rehydrate and give the body back important minerals.http://www.forbes.com/2006/12/12/gatorade-excedrin-tylenol-ent-hr-cx_mf_1212hangover.html Juices, especially orange juice or water with lemon juice, can also help to replenish vitamin C.http://www.rupissed.com/hangovercures.html Another alternative is Coke which helps to linder headache and stomach ache and can make you feel more lively and awake again. -
Food
It is essential to eat the right food to cure a hangover, only few foods have been proven to work during a hangover. Firstly bananas because they contain potassium and replenish lost electrolytes.http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_hang.htm A very helpful thing to do is eat eggs the morning after beause they contain cysteine which breaks down the toxic hangover causing acetaldehyde in your system.http://health.howstuffworks.com/hangover6.htm Many urban legends include eating pizza, having another drink or eating large portions of sauerkraut, these theories may work however it is left up to the "patient" wether he wants to actually trust in them. The most important thing about eating the next morning is that food gives the body energy again to start functioning properly and to process the excess alcohol. Another important tip is to eat a full meal before drinking and to never drink on an empty stomach.http://health.howstuffworks.com/hangover8.htmSleep and Rest
A long night out will rob your energy and alcohol consumption will deplete your body of important minerals which you need to be fit. Therefore rest is essential to cure a hangover, especially to cure potential headaches and nausea. In between showers and taking in fluids and food sleeping is the most important weapon against the hangover. However never leave a drunk person sleeping unattended and make sure the person sleeps on his side in case the person vomits in their sleep. Most hangovers will be over in 24 hours or less with the appropriate actions.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hangovers/DS00649Mahalo Answers for Hangover Cures
